Pros

Unlimited PTO, can work remotely, kind of flexible schedule, good pay if you hit your numbers

Cons

Micromanaging to the t. People are treated like numbers, and if you don't hit your monthly targets, you are treated badly. My manager was the worst and gave everyone on the team anxiety. The team was also not very diverse with only 2 Black Sales Reps out of 30 and maybe 2 Asian Sales Reps. You could have a good work life balance with this role if the managers had boundaries. The manager would call and text at 8 PM-10 PM, and more likely than not, work would bleed over to when you got home. If your sanity is a priority, and you actually want a work life balance, stay away.

Pros

Paychex is a great company to work for. I’ve held multiple roles over 20+ years. There are always ups and downs, but for every position, manager, decision I disagree with, there are ten others that are outstanding.

Cons

It’s a large company with many opportunities to grow, but smaller companies may offer higher compensation.

Pros

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Cons

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.
